Forgive me for my absence - I was away on one of the BEST holidays I've been to in a LONGGGG time. So much to share, so many photos to show, but for now, I need to go to bed (already missing my "room-mate" who was with me for 8 nights in India).

But before I go, here's me catching up on the latest "news" in India! My choice of publication? VOGUE INDIA! :)

And of course, a picture of the gate to our FAVOURITE home in INDIA!!! I think I've finally found the place to say "I do" - Now, I just need to find someone to say "I do" to. :)

Will update more about India soon - after I go through the 7000 photos we took. :)

I left the house in a rush this morning and did not want to be in heels (I've been having a lot of 'off-duty' days in the last couple of weeks - I have to get out of that soon!) and ended up wearing J's Christian Louboutin studded sneakers. My top half looks HORRIFIC (really! I have practically no make up on and what I am wearing is totally wrong), but when I look down , through my glass table top, I can't help but feel "COOL"! haha

I won't be ditching my heels anytime soon, but I think on my 'off-days', a pair (or a couple...heehee) of sneakers could substitute the usual ballerinas, converse, or brogues. I suppose the Balenciaga sneakers I bought yesterday would come in handy soon... AND I hear that someone is designing me my own pair of NikeIDs! Can't wait to share them with you when I receive them.

It is not everyday that you get an email that ends with "LET US SHOW YOU THE INCREDIBLE INDIA".

I've ALWAYS ALWAYS wanted to visit India - in my head, it is not a city with slumps, but a city with vibrant colours, rich culture, and of course the city where the TAJ MAHAL is. Ever since I was a kid, the Taj Mahal was THE ONE "Wonders of the World" I knew I HAD to visit someday.

I still can't believe how quickly I made up my mind to go on this trip, but in less than 2 weeks, I'll be seeing the incredible India! Woooohooooo!!!!!

It took New Year's Eve - the movie, to remind me to make a resolution; to make good relationships that I have been neglecting. It can be difficult maintaining relationships even with the people who mean the most to you when you live miles apart... but I should really put a stop in making those excuses and just make that small gesture of writing an email, sending a text or making a quick phone call.

I received a Blackberry for Christmas this year from my best friend. As she gave it to me, she said, "You have to promise to spend at least 1.5 hours a month calling your parents and your sister because the phone bill comes with IDD." It feels like she knew what my New Year's resolution should be and was preparing me for it. Thank you so much my dearest!

Forgive me for my absence - life has been way too hectic the last 2 weeks with lots of celebrations, meeting new friends, meeting old friends etc... so much so that I am now not feeling very well. As I rest at home, I finally found some time to sit down and switch on my 'me-time' mode.

2011 was a strange year for me - it passed by like lightning and there were so many downs for that one big achievement. In a way, I was looking forward for the year to end, a part of me wanted to start a fresh beginning - no, not like I could choose to start EDIT again, but more like I wanted to have a new outlook towards EDIT.

I know it is silly, 1 January 2012 is just another day isn't it? But there is just something so magical about that 3-2-1 that marks the end of a year to welcome in a new year. It feels like you have an excuse to start all over again.

There I was, standing in front of a casino, in one of the tackiest city I've been to, counting down to the end of 2011 to welcome in a brand new 2012. I am no gambler, the smell of smoke in the casino made me sick, and I am not a fan of throwing money away to something so intangible for the mere risk of probably winning something or a fortune. Yet, it didn't matter where I was. The countdown was just as magical and emotional. It made me think of time - of how quickly it passes, and whether you're happy one day or unhappy the next, time still goes by. I didn't have the time to reflect what my new year's resolution would be this year, but, I think I am going to try and stay positive and be a happier person! :)
